Les Breastfeeders
My fave name for a band today... yesterday's was bullshit holocaust
Patrick Watson
has a song called "The Great Escape". And he's playing a festival with the same name! Woooow! That's soo funny!
Ghosts
How many more bands with the word ghost in their name are going to be confirmed? How ace would it be if they all played the same show?
"Wow, how good were Ghost baby?"
"Ghost baby? They're on next, that was Black Cherry Ghost. Wasn't it?"
"Nah, their van broke down, they're still stuck somewhere. I tell you that was Ghost of a Thousand."
ooooooooooooooooh
it's gonna be good. and loads more bands to be announced...
